Gregory Palmore, a spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, confirmed that Andres Munos-Munos, 22, was deported July 18 after a brief stint in Harris County Jail for unlawfully carrying a weapon and driving under the influence.

Munos-Munos was charged with intoxication manslaughter in connection with the death of Sgt. Dwayne Polk, 47, who worked at the sheriff's office for 16 years. Polk was killed around 3 a.m. after Munos-Munos allegedly ran a red light at the intersection of West Little York and North Shepherd and slammed into the driver's side of Polk's Chevrolet Silverado.

Police allege that Munos-Munos was intoxicated at the time of the incident.

Palmore said agents have filed paperwork to ensure that Munos-Munos, who was in the country illegally, is handed over to immigration officials after his criminal case concludes. The suspect is being held at the Harris County Jail.

When asked to comment about Munos- Munos' immigration status, the sheriff's office issued a short statement saying that the county jail screens inmates for a variety of factors, including immigration status, and refers them to ICE when appropriate.
